Guests say

5 Ivy Terrace in Borth y Gest is a well-loved cottage, praised for its stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location. Guests frequently mention the well-equipped kitchen, cosy log burner, and the convenience of having a cafe next door. The property's cleanliness and maintenance are generally commended, though one review noted room for improvement. The thoughtful touches, such as children's beach toys and a helpful cottage manual, contribute to the property's charm, making it a favourite for many who often return for repeat visits.

The property is consistently described as immaculate, spotless, and clean by the majority of reviewers. However, one recent review mentioned dissatisfaction with the cleanliness, particularly in the shower room, suggesting a slight inconsistency.

The location is universally praised for its outstanding views over the estuary, proximity to beaches, and ease of access to local attractions and amenities. It is considered perfect by guests for exploring North Wales.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with several reviews highlighting the cosy log burner, comfortable beds, and ample living space. The presence of a window seat and balcony for enjoying the views adds to the overall comfort.

The cottage is repeatedly noted as well-equipped, with a particularly well-provided kitchen. The availability of children's beach toys and multiple lounges are appreciated. One review suggested the addition of shelves in the main bedroom, indicating room for minor improvements.

While the reviews reflect a high level of satisfaction with the thoughtfulness of the property, including the provision of a helpful manual and beach toys, there is no mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category.

    The furnishings are excellent quality, and the house was warm. Ian and Jan were very helpful with information However, we were very disappointed with the cleanliness, despite being assured the owners that they visited less than 2 months ago, in particular the shower room was very dirty, accumulated over far longer than a couple of months. I could write more, We will not be staying again and sadly cannot recommend ….which is sad, because it could be fabulous

  • Thomas
